Although I wasn't sure about this book when I was assigned it as a responsibility for the adult version of "Battle of the Books," I found myself oddly struck by its realness. Although Harold is portrayed as an awkward guy, he is remarkably humble, and many of his stories of inadequacy, heartbreak, a...
I loved this book. I got so caught up in Harold's journey to save Queenie. I got angry when others wanted to join his journey. I liked that both Harold and Maureen had to look at themselves and their marriage while Harold was on his walk. Seeing them look honestly at their marriage especially their ...
Quite a story!I can definitely see why this book is a favorite for many. Told with many intricacies, that have you mind-bent at times.Was the journey Harold took crazy? You're damn skippy. Was it worth it? It definitely was. Even if it stopped being about what it was in the first place.I got nothing...
I had this one sitting on my TBR for quite some time. I'm glad I finally picked it up, because it was all worth it in the end. "Recently retired, sweet, emotionally numb Harold Fry is jolted out of his passivity by a letter from Queenie Hennessy, an old friend, who he hasn't heard from in twenty...
Harold Fry, recently retired, receive a letter from a former colleague and friend who's now in a hospice dying from cancer. While he at first only plans to post a card with his support, he ends up walking all across England to visit her. Like a modern pilgrimage. This was one of these books that k...
I can see where a book about a recently retired Englishman going on a long walk and reflecting on his life would not be interesting (perhaps meaningful is a better word?) to persons under, say, 40. However, if you have more miles behind you than in front of you can appreciate the examination of "h...
Wusstet ihr, dass „The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry“ ursprünglich ein Radio Hörspiel war? Rachel Joyce hat es für BBC Radio 4 geschrieben, in Gedenken an ihren Vater, der an Krebs litt und leider nicht lange genug lebte, um es zu hören. Später dann schrieb sie es zu einem vollwertigen Roman um....
If one has a goal and works to get it, the universe will conspire to help him achieve it.Harold Fry, 65, retired sales person at a brewery. He walks over 500 miles from the south of England to the North to visit a dying former coworker. A 21st century pilgrimage.Queenie Henessey. In a hospice. Cance...
There's something about British...what genre is this? domestic fiction? Whatever it is, when it's done in England, it's often done so well.Had this been American, more than likely Harold would have slept with some woman along the way, Maureen would have had an affair with the neighbor, it would have...
I saw the Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry in the store a year or so ago, and as soon as I’ve read the back of it, I knew I must have it. However, it did take quite a while before I actually got it. I downprioritized it several times, knowing that it wasn’t as popular on the blogging sphere as for ...
